Informational Note:
The phrase "authority having jurisdiction," or its acronym AHJ,
is used in NFPA documents in a broad manner,
since jurisdictions and approval agencies vary, as do their responsibilities.
Where public safety is primary,
the authority having jurisdiction may be a federal, state, local,
or other regional department or individual
such as a fire chief; fire marshal; chief of a fire prevention bureau,
labor department, or health department; building official; electrical inspector;
or others having statutory authority.
For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department,
rating bureau, or other insurance company representative
may be the authority having jurisdiction.
In many circumstances, the property owner or his or her designated agent assumes the role of the authority having jurisdiction;
at government installations, the commanding officer or departmental official may be the authority having jurisdiction.
